Chris Hughes, a Facebook co-founder as well as publisher and editor-in-chief of The New Republic, chided Christie's stance on gay marriage less than a week after the governor said he would be attending a Feb. 13 fundraiser hosted by Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan at the couple's home in Palo Alto, Calif.

The trip will mark Christie's first out-of-state trip to raise money for his re-election campaign. He has already amassed 10 times more money for the primary campaign than state Sen. Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex), the only major declared Democrat in the race.

The Facebook billionaire pledged a $100 million gift to Newark schools in a much publicized announcement with Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2010.

Hugues, 29, married his husband last June and said he found Christie's gay marriage stance "just really personally frustrating," in the report where he also discussed his magazine's redesign launch and a recent interview with President Obama.

"I, for one, have a lot of questions about Chris Christie, particularly because less than a year ago he vetoed a marriage equality bill in the New Jersey state legislature," he said. Christie, a Republican, conditionally vetoed the gay marriage bill last February, saying he'd only agree to a measure strengthening the state's civil union law.

"I mean, there are tens of thousands of couples in New Jersey that can't share their love and be recognized under that law because of that decision," Hughes added. "I'm not a single issue voter, and I think most people aren't either, but for me personally, it would raise serious concerns about supporting someone like him."
